Dear members of the advisory board,

The preparations for the Degrowth-Conference are running now in full swing. To meet our costs, we are preparing for a so-called crowdfunding at the moment. Crowdfunding means that we will launch an online campaign to convince many small backers — the "crowd" — to fund a certain project (in our case, the Degrowth Conference). The backers essentially give money to support our conference and will receive in exchange something to say "thank you", a so called "gooding". In order for this crowdfunding campaign to be successful, we would like to ask for your support.

To our mind, a popular kind of gooding would be autographed books from you as respected authors within the Degrowth community. Hence, we would really appreciate if you could provide us with some autographed copies of your recent books (say, released in 2004 or later) for free. The decision of course is completely up to – every book you donate to us will help to attract additional backers. In case you are willing to do so, please contact crowdfunding@degrowth.de until 31st of May.

Of course, other things or deeds would present suitable goodings as well; we are happy about any further recommendation you will make to us.

Postal address:
Konzeptwerk Neue Ökonomie e.V.
Klingenstr. 22
04229 Leipzig
Germany

Handing over goodings at the conference is possible, too. But in any case, we would need a notification about it until end of May.

Many thanks in advance and best regards from Leipzig,

Steffen Lange
